Sharett
Sharett is a surname of Hebrew origin. It is most famously associated with Moshe Sharett, the second Prime Minister of Israel. He was born in 1894 in Kherson, Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire, and passed away in 1965 in Jerusalem. Sharett was a key figure in the Zionist movement and played a significant role in the establishment of the State of Israel. Before becoming Prime Minister in 1954, he served as Israel's first Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1948 to 1956. His premiership was marked by efforts to consolidate Israel's international standing and address security challenges.
The surname Sharett itself is believed to derive from the Hebrew word "sharir," meaning strong or stout.
